Lake Fort Smith State Park Presents Star Gazing

Astronomical Society members will provide telescopes, binoculars and other viewing devices and explain their usage to members of the public.

“This is a great family-friendly event,” said Joe Hamilton, park interpreter. “Our park is away from the light pollution of the city, and we turn out the lights in the marina. This creates an excellent viewing opportunity.”

The event is free and open to the public. Participants should bring lawn chairs and blankets.

A free children’s craft hour with a focus on the solar system will be held from 4-5 p.m. at the park’s visitor center. All supplies are provided.
